A mixed media artist and sculptor working in fiber
and textile

Lace Fetish, 2018

“

The sources of ritual art in so-called ‘primitive’ cultures
have always interested me. Some of my work is about storytelling, legends
and mythology. I have great respect for ancient artifacts. The spiritual
power in the objects themselves fascinates me.

“The trees in the woods behind my house are being taken over by the wild
grapevines like kudzu in the deep South. I collect vine and bark, harvesting
it all year, to use in my sculptures and installations.

“Like most artists, the concepts behind my work are personal. However,
I expect my work to speak about nature, metamorphosis, time, loss and
the handmade object.”
